The alternative right now is simply to send an email to yourself. InboxIt essentially does this for you, removing some of the tedium from the process. Simply tap the InboxIt icon in the Chrome sharing menu or wherever else you're sharing from, and it will automatically email the link to the account you set up.

As well as sending yourself links, you can also use the app to add reminders to your inbox, which is another feature we'll be missing when Inbox goes away completely. There's an app shortcut to make this easy to access, so if you've gotten used to having reminders mixed in with emails, this could be a good alternative.

Left: The basic reminder interface. Right: A reminder followed by two saved links.

Additional features such as changing the email subject and automatically applying a Gmail label can be purchased for $0.99/£0.99, although I've found the default settings to be good enough for my use.

InboxIt has only positive reviews on the Play Store so far, so let's hope the dev continues to build on this good start.
